Others may come after him others usually do come after him, for seldom is it that a girl marries her first love but to none does she ever attach that strange intangible Interest, sacred with never expressed pathos, which attaches to her first sweetheart. Her memory of him is like the faint, delicate perfume which still clings about that first wild rose of summer that he gave her during the first tete a-fete walk that they ever took together in the woods. How well she remembers it all ! It was the first summer after she left school. It was a little out of the way summer resort where she was staying with a party of friends, and where he chanced to come, too, ana, after meeting her, lingered. She was a little fluttered to hnd herself walking alone with him, quite by accident, of course, and both tried to keep a lively and natural conversa tion, and as a consequence it was per fectly absurd, somewhat constrained and altogether fragmentary. Then be saw this rose, the only one upon a bush lull ot buds that grew close to the moss-grown trunk ot a fallen tree iust over the source of tiny stream of water that wound, like a tangled thread, in and out among the trees. He gathered and gave it to her with a half shy, half laughing look so transparently conscious in its endeavor to be unconscious, and with a remark intended to be sprightly. And she took it, between a blush and a smile, with a swift up-look from eyes that were busily playinghide-and-seek under the becoming shelter of lone lashes. She tucked it in at the waistband of her dress, just as she would have done any other rose, but how careful she was not by any sudden movement to deflower it of its simple circlet of pale pink leaves ! He does not know he will never know that as soon as she was alone in her room, with the door locked, she drew it carefully from her belt and kissed it daintily, though with re pressed passion, before she exalted it to the position of honor in her pet vase, a bit of bijouterie, just b enough loveRS who to noia mis one nower nuy, anu in honor of it filled carefully with clear cool water by her own pretty fresh fingers, as rosily tipped as those of Aurora in the act of drawing aside the curtaips of the dawn. What was the unsDoken compact between them that caused her, standing before her glass in her simple white dress that same evening, to pose the flower shyly among the burnished waves of her hair ? Will she ever forget how his eyes thanked her? Will she ever forget the night on which she wore it ? Was there ever another night like that f Will there ever -be again ? For her, no. For every girl who has yet to meet her first lover, yes. There will be just one such for each girl, but never another. Was it the earth she trod on ? How beautiful everything was ! As if the world were just new made! lhe lights, the music, the gay chatter, bright smiles, ringing laughter ! And when she danced with him she seemed to have wings to her feet. Then at last they were alone together in the cool, fragrant, dewy darkness outside; and to be together, to be arm in arm, to hear each others voices, that was all they cared for. There was no oth er world for them that were separated from earth by such a swift flowing tide of deep but unspoken delight. Unspok en, because young affection is too sa cred for words. First love is born dumb, and learns speech tut slowly. Deep down in each heart was the rap New and Fashionable "Styles. MRS. E.

Fall and Winter CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY WHOLESALE MATRIMONY. The Curious Procession of Brides and Grooms in ew York. A very curious procession took place recently, says the New York Mercury, on East Second street. It consisted of thirty-two young couples, all of them dressed in the national costume of the Bohemian Czechs. The men wore short jackets, richly embroidered in red silk, and the girls white skirts and crimson jackets, with caps of green velvet, embroidered in gold and silver. The procession, which was headed by a small band and by a venerable prelate in full vestments, moved through Second street to Avenue A, and then through Essex street to Broome street, where in the large hall of the building No. 237, a ceremony such as has never been witnessed before in New York took place. It was simply a wholesale wedding of thirty-two young Czechs with thirty-two buxom lassies from the land of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Bohemia. There is probably no country in the world where the wedding ceremony is looked upon with more religious awe than In Bohemia. The Czech colony in this city, cosisting mostly of men and women engaged in the manufacture of cigars, or in glass blowing, has recently received strong accessions, principally from Prague and the surrounding country. Notwithstanding the pros tration of business, these Czechs have flourished more than any other element of our foreign population. They are very thrifty, sober and industrious, and they say there is not a single Bo hemian pauper in the city. Some of the female cigar makers of that na tionality have relatively large sums of money m the savings banki. ihey are a very energetic class of females and by no means unattractive in personal appearance. There . being no priest here able to perform the nuptial rites in the Czech language, the young couples that were ready to get married clubbed together and sent for Right Rev. Bishop Habelczek from Prague, to marry them all at once. When the Bishop arrived here, a singular compli cation occurred. The number of couples that had sent for him thirty-three, a very unlucky number, aod hence it was determined that only thirty two couples should be married. They drew lots as to which couple should be excluded, and the hapless were selected manifested their disappointment in a very lively manner. The bishop consoled them by promising to marry them soon. The wedding ceremonies on Broome street were quite impressive. After the service had been read the older portion ofthe female audience, among whom there were many mothers of the brides and bridegrooms, burst into startling lamentations, while the grooms looked unconcerned, and the brides blushingly dropped their eyes. When the prelate had blessed them, salt and bread were handed round and partak en of by everybody. The bridegrooms did not kiss their brides, the Czechs considering it indecent even for hus bands to kiss their wives, in public. Causes of Putrefaction and Fer mentation. A year or two ago, Dr. J. Dougall of Glasgow, at the Social Science Con gress, held m New York, city announ Giaeomo Antonelli, Dean ofthe Order of Cardinal Deacons. This aged and eminent prelate, who has played a most important part in the pontificate of Pius IX., died at Rome, Nov. 6th, having nearly reached the age of seventy years. He was born in Terracina, and displaying more than ordinary ability at an early age was transferred to Rome, and thoroughly trained in the great seminary in that city. His abilities tan in the political as well as the ecclesiastical line, and he rose rapidly both as statesman and priest. Attracting the special notice of Gregory XVI, he was selected to fill several important posts, the duties of which he transacted with marked ability and great devotion to the interests of the Church. He was raised to the dignity of Cardinal in 1847, and after that he became Minister of Finance for the Pope, and subsequently Prime Minister. At this time he was popular with the Liberal party in Italy, but owing to continued opposition both in Church and State, Antonelli gave way to Mauriana as Prime Minister, and for a time remained engaged simply in the discharge of his religious duties. After tne assassination ot Kossi, the successor of Mauriana, Antonelli counseled the removal of the Pope to Gaeta. From this place he planned and negotiated the return of the Holy Father to Rome under French protection in 850. Antonelli was now made Sec retary of Foreign Affairs, and at once commenced his reactionary policy. This created great bitterness in the ranks of his opponents, and in 18?"! an attempt upon his life was made, which, howe 'er, failed. Even among the officials of the Church there was a party that doubted and denounced the teachings and actions of Antonelli of a political and governmental char acter. But he was too strong for them, and m 1865 the head of lhe an il Antonelli party, De Merode, the Minister of War, was removed and a friend ofthe Cardinal put in his place In 1S67 Cardinal Antonelli was made Curator ad interim of the University of Rome, and in 1868, by the death of Cardinal Ugolino, he became Dean of the Order of Cardinal Deacons. He was now at the very zenith of his spintual and secular power. But he was opposed to the tide of innovation that set in upon Italy and too weak to beat back the waves. He protested against the withdrawal of the French troops in 1870: he contended earnest Iy against the invasion of the States of the Church by Victor Emmanuel, and gave reasons for deprecating other measures as calculated to fetter and restrict the power and usefulness of the Church. In 1871 the King of Italy made his formal entry into Rome as the supreme civil ruler of Italy. This ended the secular contest in which Cardinal Antonelli had been so long engaged, and his path henceforth was bounded in the most part by religious duties. He took an active part in the late Ecumenical Council, and indeed is reported to have been the father of that movement, as he was a leader in the controversy in relation to the dog ma of Papal Infallibility. The Car dinal was a learned and zealous church man, and a statesman and diplomatist of a high order of abuity. ced,asthe result of investigations made by himself, that the presence of an al kali determines putrefaction in organic matter, while the presence of an acid determines fermentative changes.

They covery an explanation 01 me presence our common in hospitals of septic poisons, giving rise to pyaemia, erysipelas, and puer peral fever.

Bijah was rushing around with un usual energy, when his Honor saunter ed in, his hair full of the glorious au tumn leaves which the wind was scattering about, and he asked: "Going off on a huckleberry excur sion to-day?" "No, growled the janitor, "I want to get down to the depot to hear Timb Laine speak." Always running after politics, ighed the court as he hung up his hat. "How much better would it look in an old man like you to be seen out in the back yard digging fish-bait or catnip than to see you standing before stump speaker with your mouth open and both ends, of your paper collar flying in the gale." "I guess this is a free country, muttered Bijah to himself, as he wiped on tne cnarrs, .-. .- - His Honor figured for two or three minutes and then said: - "Come up here, you old saw milL and see how the record stands.

The Way things Are in the Center of the Earth. A remarkable address has been, delivered by Sir William Thomson in the Physical Section of the British Association on the subject of the fluid or solid nature of the earth's kernel. While not denying that certain portions ot the earth s interior are in a molten or fluid state, Sir William Thomson maintained, on various more or less recondite grounds, that no large pro portion of the earth s interior can bv anv rtrtccihilitv hp in (ho .nnitiV f molten fluid. "I may say, with almost XiUCVls vl iguiumg uu wminii perlect certainty, that whatever may be the relative densities of rock solid stead of the putrefactive decomposi tion of the pus-cells and other organic matter given on from the patient. Dr. Day proposes the following meth od of counteracting the evils ot hospit al life: The boards of the floor he would first cover with a coat consist, ing of equal parts of gasoline and boiled hnseed-oil, to which is added a little benzoic acid. When dry, the surface is polished with a paste of beeswax, turpentine, and benaoic acid. Boards so prepared are, in his opinion, rendered permanently disinfectant. The walls and ceilings might be rub bed smooth, and coated with a var nish of paraffine or oil of turpentine ; or, better still, they might be coated with silicate paint, then rubbed down and varnished. For the purpose of keeping the air pure, and destroying the pus-cells floating in it, he recom mends, in addition to ventilation, the use of certain volatile substances, such as gasoline, benzine and uncalyptus. oil. lhe furniture should be occa sionally brushed over with either gas- oline or benzine, in which a little ben zoic acid has been dissolved. and melted, at or about the tempera ture of liquefaction, it is, I think, quite certain that cold solid rock is denser than hot melted rock; and no possible degree of rigidity in the crust could prevent it from breaking in pieces and sinking wholly below the liquid lava. Something like this may nave gone on and -probably did go on for thousands of years after solidifica tion commenced; surface portions of Species of Trees. " The effects of lightning on various species of trees have been made a sub ject of investigation by Daniel Colla- don, who communicates to the Geneva Society of Natural History the results of his observations. He states that, when a poplar is struck, all the upper part of the tree remains perfectly sound and green. The height above the ground at which the injuries appear does not, in large poplars, exceed the third of the tree s height. 1 hese m- the melted material losing heat, freez- juries commence immediately below ing and sinking immediately, or growing to thickness of a few metres where the surface would be cool, and the whole solid dense enough to sink.

The Baltimore Sun describes an af fecting scene on the stage of the Hoi liday Street Theater in that city Fri day night. Mr. ohn C terns was playing the role of George Tallboys in "Yaos Audley s Secret. tie was with Lady Audley at a well when she assumed sudden faintness and asks him to dip her handkerchief in the water to cool her brow. While he is in the act of complying she pushes him down the well, the old wall falling on him. It was during this scene that Mr. Fer ris was stricken with paralysis. At the end of his previous scene he had gone to the stage manager, saying. "Oh, God 1 what is this coming over me? Is it death, or what?" At this moment his "cue" was given, and he started for the stage, exclaiming, "Watch me ! I don t know what am saying." tie endeavored to get through the scene, but as it proceeded he staggered about the stage like drunken man. lhe audience, sup posing him be be intoxicated, began to laugh and shout, while Miss Mortimer, who was playing Lady Audley, en deavored to aid him by pushing him in the well to consummate the action of the scene. Mr. Ferris, in a semiconscious state, took the handkerchief to dip it in the well, and staggering up the stage, was about to utter the last words of his part, which were : 1 his is the last service I shall ever render you, when the shouts and laughter ot the audience seemed to make him realize that they thought him drunk. He turned slowly to assure them that he was not, and with great difficulty uttered the broken sentence, "Ladies and gen tie men, I am," and staggering back grasped the frame of the well, as the curtain was dropped amidst the shouts and jeers of the au dience. The sufferer was removed to his hotel and in an hour was dead. The facts of his paralysis was an nounced before the theater closed, and the play was finished without "Tallboys." Foray of an Army of Ants. A writer in Land and Water gives an interesting account of a foray by an army of ants, which he witnessed in South Africa. This army, estimated to number about 14,000 ants, started from their home in the mud walls of a hut, and marched out in the direction of a small mound of fresh earth in the vicinity. The head of the column halted on reaching the foot of the mound, and the remainder of the force did likewise till the entire army was assembled. Then the forces were divided: one part remained at the foot of the mound and ran round and round it; the rest mounted to the top, and some of them entered the loose earth and speedily returned, each bearing a young grasshopper or cricket, dead, which he deposited upon the ground and returned for a fresh load Those who had remained on the out side of the mound took up the cru k ets as they were brought out of the earth, and bore them down to the base of the hill, returning tor a fresh load, Soon the contents of the mound seem ed to be exhausted, and then the whole force returned home, each carrying his burden ot food lor the community. Here was a regular foray, planned and executed with military precision, the country surveyed, and the depot of provisions known accurately before the march was made; at the mound, prudential division of labor, and care taken that none ot the victims should escape. The Land of the Missing. In one ot William Black's novels, says the Indianapolis Herald, he makes one of his people vaguely describe a land which lay across the sea, to which had fled all who were numbered among the missing, who there lived, untrammeled by the follies or misfortunes of the past. But the land of the living does not always care for its children. Sad wrecks go down in the surging seas which surround it. One case, saddest of all in the com pass of memory, presents itself. A boy, an only child, the idol of wealthy and cultured parents, started for school one morning with his mother's good bye kiss warm upon his lips and his books in his hands, and never returned. He was only eight years old, was as handsome as a cherub, and was known everywhere among his acquaintance as good boy. He was effeminate in nature and never, ordinarily, ventured upon boyish escapades. He was to have a rabbit for his dinner, and he asked as a favor, that it might be "stewed with a heap of gravy." The dinner was prepared but he never came to eat it. There had been nothing to make him dissatisfied with his surroundings and encourage the idea that he had run away. He timid and shrinking, and as everybody believed too good and too cowardly to run away. Sixteen years later his father and mother met him on a Miss issippi River steamboat, a bloated, drunken, profane, .brutal gambler Death would have kept him a beauti ful and loveable child; but the land of the missing sent him back a turned soul. Mutuality of the Brave. An incident of the late Confederate Army meeting in Richmond was the loud applause with which the "Boys Who Wore the Gray" greeted a grare-ful eulogy in the speech of the orator of the occasion upon the gallantry of a Federal Lieutenant and Sergeant at the battle of the crater, near Petersburg. After the mine was fired and the Union troops were awaiting the explosion to advance upon the Confederate lines,an unexpected hindrance delayed the explosion, but what it was no one could conjecture. If the fuse was still alight, burning but slowly, to enter the mine was certain death. Time thus dragged slowly on, when, said the speaker, "two brave men, whose names should be mentioned with respect wherever courage is honored, Lieutenant Jacob Douty and Ser geant Henry Rees, both of the 48th Pennsyluania, volunteered for the perilous service and entered the mine. Crawling on their hands and knees, groping in utter darkness, they found that the fuse had gone out about one hundred feet from the mouth of the main gallery, relighted it and retired." It was the mention of this incident which drew such applause from the battle scarred veterans of Virginia, who had been in the same fight with these, gallant Pennsylvanians, showing how brave men respect each other. while men who never smelt powder are always most furious and implacable when the return of peace permits them to yelp and bark with impunity. Weod Pavements. After a very thorough investigation j ot the advantages possessed by differ ent kinds of pavements granite, asphalt and wood the corporation of London has decided in favor ot the last. The report of the city engineer shows that a horse traveling on a granite pavement may be expected to fall once for every one hundred and thirty-two mile's traveled, on asphalt once in one hundred and ninety-one miles, and on wood once in four hundred and forty-six miles. The injury sus tained by the animal is also far less serious from a fall upon wood than upon asphalt or upon granite. The mode of constructing wooden pavements in London appears to differ from that which has obtained in this country. The surface-water is kept out by means of a layer of asphalt, and there is a flooring of planks as a superstructure, which gives great elasticity, and by distributing the weight equally over a considerable area, adds to the power of endurance of the pavement. This decision of the London Corporation will occasion surprise on this side of the water, where wooden pavements have been pronounced an utter failure. It remains to be seen whether good material and careful construction will avail to remove the capital objection to wood as a material for pavements its liability to speedy decay.

Age of Trees in Relation to Time of Leafing. In the course ot a discussion, in the Paris Academie des Sciences, of the question whether the annual buds of a tree, as it grows old, preserve the characters of youth or share in the old age of the individual which produces them, it was stated that, according to observations made by Prof. Decaisne on the Robinia pseudacacia (common locust) of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, the time af leafing does not vary with age. At Pisa, results a tittle different were obtained; there the gingko (Salisburia adiantigolid) and the walnut have been found to pro duce their leaves earlier in the season from year tojrear as they have advanced in age. On the contrary, the Esculus hippocastanum, or horse chestnut, is more tardy in proportion as it grows older. M. de Candolle, who was present at the meeting of the Academy, quoted observations care fully made every year since 1808 on two che.-tnut trees at Geneva; these trees have leaved iflvariably between the ninety third and the ninety-sixth day of the year. He further quoted the instance of a vine growing at Os tend. This vine has been observed during thirty-three years, and during the first eleven years it leaved on the one hundred and twenty se venth day of the year; in the second period of eleven years, on the one hundred and twentieth; in the third, on the one hundred and sixth: Thus there would seem to be a continuous progression the vine becoming more precocious in proportion to its advance in age. The Northerly Winds of Califor nia. In a paper on the northerly winds of the great central valley of California, Mr. J. H. C. Bonte attributes to the prevalence of these winds the peculiar dry and moderately exhilarating cli mate of that region. Further, he as serts that without the north winds, and with the consequent increase of moist heat, the vegetation now cultivated in the valley would be crowded out by dense tropical growths. It is reasona bleto believe that the desiccating power of the north wind, by preventing and dissipating the noxious exhalations of animal matter, acts as a preventative of disease. The north winds, follow ing the Tainy season, by drying and baking the soil, dissolve and pulverize its particles, thus freezing its productive powers. Fineness of fibre and con centrated nutriment are imparted to all the vegetable growths of the valley by the north wind, and it is possible that the grapes and strawberries of California may receive their delicate flavor from the same source. Cereal grains are made solid and flinty by this influence, and thus enabled to re sist the damaging effects of moisture The comparative exemption of the valley of California from the ravages of the weevil doubtless arises from the desiccating power of the north wind and the same cause checks the growth of fungi. The economical value of the north wind is discernible in its power to preserve from rapid decay houses, barns, fences, etc., and the same influence must protect iron from destructive rusts. ' A Soldier's Golgotha. Cuba is a cemetery for Spanish re cruits. Unlike FalstafFs ragged regi ment, who were good as food for powder, these poor boys who are enlisted in Spain and shipped off to crush the insurrection in Cuba, are killed by the diseases incidental to the country before, they have a chance of facing the enemy. The mortality is as great or perhaps greater than that which cursed the Union army on the I peninsula. Malarial fever " gathers them in." The official records at Madrid and Havana may be able to show how many stout fellows have been swallowed in the swamps of Cuba, but in no other way can the thousands of victims be told of. The Madrid government is evidently tired of frit tering away human life in this way. Martinez Campos is appointed to command the army, and the order to fire is to be given all along the line. Insurrection is to be wiped out. Campos has only to give the order, and quick, presto, it is done. It is as easy lying. Sixteen thousand troops from Madrid are on the sea, and twenty-four thousand more are to fol low, and with those on the ground the spirit of free Cuba is to be crushed. We have been hearing this for years. Men have come and men have gone back to Madrid, but the war goes on. The insurgents have got a commander who is never idle. His name is Gen Disease. St. Louis Republican. Meats Cooked hy Cold. It is a fact of familiar experience tnat extreme cold produces in organic substances effects closely resembling those of heat. Thus, contact with frozen mercury gives the same sensa tion as contact with fire; and meat that has been exposed to a very low ttm perature assumes a condition like that produced by heat. This action of intense cold has been turned to account for economical uses by Dr. Sawicze vosky, an Hungari- n chemist, as we learn from' Lq Nature. He subjects flesh-meats to a temperature of minus " Fahr., and having thus "cooked them by the cold," seals them her metically in tin cans. The results are represented as being entirely satisfac tory. The meat, when taken out of the cans a long time afterward, is found to be, as regards its appearance and its odor, in all respects as inviting as at first. It is partially cooked, ,and needs but little treatment more to pre pare it for the table. A German gov ernment commission has made expen ments with this process, and two naval vessels dispatched on a voyage of cir cumnavigation were provisioned with this kind of meat. An establishment has been set up in Hungary for pre serving meats in this way. The packing season is now iairly opened in the West. Our cotton crop is estimated at 4,-225,000 bales this year. Ten thousand Californians expect to leave for the Black Hills next year. One hundred Chicago families are seeking a settlement in Florida.

They tell a bride in Philadelphia by her new watch chain, and a bridegroom by the shawl on his arm. The crop of wild nuts is uncommonly large this season in all parts of the country. When a man becomes a millionaire in California he buys a hotel or a the-ater for a plaything. A friend of M. de Girardin describes him as "a an who rises every day at 4 o'clock to make enemies." A California grower has raised four thousand boxes of raisins worth $8,-000 on twenty acres of land. The New Orleans Times says that quite a large manufacturing business is springing up in that city. San Francisco newspapers publish daily a list telegraphed them of the passengers to arrive in the evening; tram from the East. The United States uses 60,000 tons of lead each year, and Great Britam and Spain alone produce more than this country. - The New England torchlight pro cessions made the kerosene market lively.

Somebody remarks that young ladies look upon a boy as a nuisance until he is past the age of sixteen, when he generally doubles up in value each year, until, like a meerschaum pipe, he is priceless. An alderman who had become a furious parliamentarian after two weeks in office, was expelled from his church the other day for rising in the midst of the sermon and moving the previous question. The importation of potatoes from Great Britain, Portugal and Greece, as well as the United States, has been forbidden by the Swedish government in order to guard against the Colorado beetle. The Georgia cotton crop report for October indicates a yield about equal to that of last year, possibly greater. The crop is being gathered and marketed with a rapidity seldom if ever equaled. Centennial Criticism. A group of one man and two women halted in front of "The Bridal of Nep tune," sorely perplexed to make it out. But one of the women was a smart Massachusetts girl and she soon solved the difficulty. " It's either," said she, with some lingering dou' t, " it's either the De. looge or the bursting of the Worcester dam !" " 'Taint the Delooge," replied the male Yank, " 'cause that ain't the cos- toom of the period 1" "Then it s the Worceeterdam, sure!" voted the trio, and glode peacefully on their way. Modern English. The queen's English, as taught in this country, was illustrated on Washington street last Sunday evening, when Charley, who was under the influence of the emer ald-eyed shell fish, questioned his dul-cinea about her flirtation with " that stranger." She said: "Charley, you might have trusted me; you bet I wouldn't give you the goose for him. Why, I tumbled to his racket on the go in. tie s snide clean through the piece. His red necktie gave him dead away." And yet she has a pretty, rosebud mouth that looks just as though it was made to kiss.T Marquette Min ing Journal. m. The Chinese soldiers, as a rule, are a most useless and corrupt body of men. and for money they can be bribed from duty at almost any time, if sure of their own safety. Situated in the northern suburbs of Canton was a gambling den, the proprietors of which paid hush-money, for many months, to the officers of a guard station near by. Recently, however, the price of silence was raised by the officers, and the gamblers refused to pay. Tffereupon the soldiers made a raid on the place and captured one of the inmates, and deman ed -a heavy ransom for him. Then the gamblers in their turn proceeded to the station fought the soldiers, released their com panion and retraced their steps in. triumph, leaving several soldiers wounded as a little souvenir of their vsit. . ; im.

"How would Beethoven's 'Symphony in E minor,' arranged as a fantasie in four flats and one stop to the high C, suit you!" in quired the musician. "Well," said the bridegroom-elect, evidently puzzled, "if it's got'the ring and go cf the Skidmore Guards or ' Tommy, Make Room for your Auntie' in it, I think it'll do " When Mr. Thomas Fitch had got through speaking at Truckee, a few nights ago, he was approached by an individual who was somewhat under the weather, who shook his hand and thus addressed him: "A'skuse me, Mr. Fitch; I've bin listenln'to you talk and I may say that I admired yer speech.

Others may come after him others usually do come after him, for seldom is it that a girl marries her first love but to none does she ever attach that strange intangible Interest, sacred with never expressed pathos, which attaches to her first sweetheart. Her memory of him is like the faint, delicate perfume which still clings about that first wild rose of summer that he gave her during the first tete a-fete walk that they ever took together in the woods. How well she remembers it all ! It was the first summer after she left school. It was a little out of the way summer resort where she was staying with a party of friends, and where he chanced to come, too, ana, after meeting her, lingered. She was a little fluttered to hnd herself walking alone with him, quite by accident, of course, and both tried to keep a lively and natural conversa tion, and as a consequence it was per fectly absurd, somewhat constrained and altogether fragmentary. Then be saw this rose, the only one upon a bush lull ot buds that grew close to the moss-grown trunk ot a fallen tree iust over the source of tiny stream of water that wound, like a tangled thread, in and out among the trees. He gathered and gave it to her with a half shy, half laughing look so transparently conscious in its endeavor to be unconscious, and with a remark intended to be sprightly. And she took it, between a blush and a smile, with a swift up-look from eyes that were busily playinghide-and-seek under the becoming shelter of lone lashes. She tucked it in at the waistband of her dress, just as she would have done any other rose, but how careful she was not by any sudden movement to deflower it of its simple circlet of pale pink leaves ! He does not know he will never know that as soon as she was alone in her room, with the door locked, she drew it carefully from her belt and kissed it daintily, though with re pressed passion, before she exalted it to the position of honor in her pet vase, a bit of bijouterie, just b enough loveRS who to noia mis one nower nuy, anu in honor of it filled carefully with clear cool water by her own pretty fresh fingers, as rosily tipped as those of Aurora in the act of drawing aside the curtaips of the dawn. What was the unsDoken compact between them that caused her, standing before her glass in her simple white dress that same evening, to pose the flower shyly among the burnished waves of her hair ? Will she ever forget how his eyes thanked her? Will she ever forget the night on which she wore it ? Was there ever another night like that f Will there ever -be again ? For her, no. For every girl who has yet to meet her first lover, yes. There will be just one such for each girl, but never another. Was it the earth she trod on ? How beautiful everything was ! As if the world were just new made! lhe lights, the music, the gay chatter, bright smiles, ringing laughter ! And when she danced with him she seemed to have wings to her feet. Then at last they were alone together in the cool, fragrant, dewy darkness outside; and to be together, to be arm in arm, to hear each others voices, that was all they cared for. There was no oth er world for them that were separated from earth by such a swift flowing tide of deep but unspoken delight. Unspok en, because young affection is too sa cred for words.

Fall and Winter CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY WHOLESALE MATRIMONY. The Curious Procession of Brides and Grooms in ew York. A very curious procession took place recently, says the New York Mercury, on East Second street. It consisted of thirty-two young couples, all of them dressed in the national costume of the Bohemian Czechs. The men wore short jackets, richly embroidered in red silk, and the girls white skirts and crimson jackets, with caps of green velvet, embroidered in gold and silver. The procession, which was headed by a small band and by a venerable prelate in full vestments, moved through Second street to Avenue A, and then through Essex street to Broome street, where in the large hall of the building No. 237, a ceremony such as has never been witnessed before in New York took place. It was simply a wholesale wedding of thirty-two young Czechs with thirty-two buxom lassies from the land of Nepomuk, the patron saint of Bohemia. There is probably no country in the world where the wedding ceremony is looked upon with more religious awe than In Bohemia. The Czech colony in this city, cosisting mostly of men and women engaged in the manufacture of cigars, or in glass blowing, has recently received strong accessions, principally from Prague and the surrounding country. Notwithstanding the pros tration of business, these Czechs have flourished more than any other element of our foreign population. They are very thrifty, sober and industrious, and they say there is not a single Bo hemian pauper in the city. Some of the female cigar makers of that na tionality have relatively large sums of money m the savings banki. ihey are a very energetic class of females and by no means unattractive in personal appearance. There . being no priest here able to perform the nuptial rites in the Czech language, the young couples that were ready to get married clubbed together and sent for Right Rev. Bishop Habelczek from Prague, to marry them all at once. When the Bishop arrived here, a singular compli cation occurred. The number of couples that had sent for him thirty-three, a very unlucky number, aod hence it was determined that only thirty two couples should be married. They drew lots as to which couple should be excluded, and the hapless were selected manifested their disappointment in a very lively manner. The bishop consoled them by promising to marry them soon. The wedding ceremonies on Broome street were quite impressive. After the service had been read the older portion ofthe female audience, among whom there were many mothers of the brides and bridegrooms, burst into startling lamentations, while the grooms looked unconcerned, and the brides blushingly dropped their eyes. When the prelate had blessed them, salt and bread were handed round and partak en of by everybody. The bridegrooms did not kiss their brides, the Czechs considering it indecent even for hus bands to kiss their wives, in public. Causes of Putrefaction and Fer mentation. A year or two ago, Dr. J. Dougall of Glasgow, at the Social Science Con gress, held m New York, city announ Giaeomo Antonelli, Dean ofthe Order of Cardinal Deacons. This aged and eminent prelate, who has played a most important part in the pontificate of Pius IX., died at Rome, Nov. 6th, having nearly reached the age of seventy years. He was born in Terracina, and displaying more than ordinary ability at an early age was transferred to Rome, and thoroughly trained in the great seminary in that city. His abilities tan in the political as well as the ecclesiastical line, and he rose rapidly both as statesman and priest. Attracting the special notice of Gregory XVI, he was selected to fill several important posts, the duties of which he transacted with marked ability and great devotion to the interests of the Church. He was raised to the dignity of Cardinal in 1847, and after that he became Minister of Finance for the Pope, and subsequently Prime Minister. At this time he was popular with the Liberal party in Italy, but owing to continued opposition both in Church and State, Antonelli gave way to Mauriana as Prime Minister, and for a time remained engaged simply in the discharge of his religious duties. After tne assassination ot Kossi, the successor of Mauriana, Antonelli counseled the removal of the Pope to Gaeta. From this place he planned and negotiated the return of the Holy Father to Rome under French protection in 850. Antonelli was now made Sec retary of Foreign Affairs, and at once commenced his reactionary policy. This created great bitterness in the ranks of his opponents, and in 18?"! an attempt upon his life was made, which, howe 'er, failed. Even among the officials of the Church there was a party that doubted and denounced the teachings and actions of Antonelli of a political and governmental char acter. But he was too strong for them, and m 1865 the head of lhe an il Antonelli party, De Merode, the Minister of War, was removed and a friend ofthe Cardinal put in his place In 1S67 Cardinal Antonelli was made Curator ad interim of the University of Rome, and in 1868, by the death of Cardinal Ugolino, he became Dean of the Order of Cardinal Deacons. He was now at the very zenith of his spintual and secular power. But he was opposed to the tide of innovation that set in upon Italy and too weak to beat back the waves. He protested against the withdrawal of the French troops in 1870: he contended earnest Iy against the invasion of the States of the Church by Victor Emmanuel, and gave reasons for deprecating other measures as calculated to fetter and restrict the power and usefulness of the Church. In 1871 the King of Italy made his formal entry into Rome as the supreme civil ruler of Italy. This ended the secular contest in which Cardinal Antonelli had been so long engaged, and his path henceforth was bounded in the most part by religious duties. He took an active part in the late Ecumenical Council, and indeed is reported to have been the father of that movement, as he was a leader in the controversy in relation to the dog ma of Papal Infallibility. The Car dinal was a learned and zealous church man, and a statesman and diplomatist of a high order of abuity. ced,asthe result of investigations made by himself, that the presence of an al kali determines putrefaction in organic matter, while the presence of an acid determines fermentative changes.

The Way things Are in the Center of the Earth. A remarkable address has been, delivered by Sir William Thomson in the Physical Section of the British Association on the subject of the fluid or solid nature of the earth's kernel. While not denying that certain portions ot the earth s interior are in a molten or fluid state, Sir William Thomson maintained, on various more or less recondite grounds, that no large pro portion of the earth s interior can bv anv rtrtccihilitv hp in (ho .nnitiV f molten fluid. "I may say, with almost XiUCVls vl iguiumg uu wminii perlect certainty, that whatever may be the relative densities of rock solid stead of the putrefactive decomposi tion of the pus-cells and other organic matter given on from the patient. Dr. Day proposes the following meth od of counteracting the evils ot hospit al life: The boards of the floor he would first cover with a coat consist, ing of equal parts of gasoline and boiled hnseed-oil, to which is added a little benzoic acid. When dry, the surface is polished with a paste of beeswax, turpentine, and benaoic acid. Boards so prepared are, in his opinion, rendered permanently disinfectant. The walls and ceilings might be rub bed smooth, and coated with a var nish of paraffine or oil of turpentine ; or, better still, they might be coated with silicate paint, then rubbed down and varnished. For the purpose of keeping the air pure, and destroying the pus-cells floating in it, he recom mends, in addition to ventilation, the use of certain volatile substances, such as gasoline, benzine and uncalyptus. oil. lhe furniture should be occa sionally brushed over with either gas- oline or benzine, in which a little ben zoic acid has been dissolved. and melted, at or about the tempera ture of liquefaction, it is, I think, quite certain that cold solid rock is denser than hot melted rock; and no possible degree of rigidity in the crust could prevent it from breaking in pieces and sinking wholly below the liquid lava. Something like this may nave gone on and -probably did go on for thousands of years after solidifica tion commenced; surface portions of Species of Trees. " The effects of lightning on various species of trees have been made a sub ject of investigation by Daniel Colla- don, who communicates to the Geneva Society of Natural History the results of his observations. He states that, when a poplar is struck, all the upper part of the tree remains perfectly sound and green. The height above the ground at which the injuries appear does not, in large poplars, exceed the third of the tree s height. 1 hese m- the melted material losing heat, freez- juries commence immediately below ing and sinking immediately, or growing to thickness of a few metres where the surface would be cool, and the whole solid dense enough to sink. This process must go on until the sunk portions of crust build up from the bottom a sufficiently close ribbed skel eton or frame, to allow fresh mcrusta Hon to remain, bridging across the now small areas of lava pools or lakes."

The Baltimore Sun describes an af fecting scene on the stage of the Hoi liday Street Theater in that city Fri day night. Mr. ohn C terns was playing the role of George Tallboys in "Yaos Audley s Secret. tie was with Lady Audley at a well when she assumed sudden faintness and asks him to dip her handkerchief in the water to cool her brow. While he is in the act of complying she pushes him down the well, the old wall falling on him. It was during this scene that Mr. Fer ris was stricken with paralysis. At the end of his previous scene he had gone to the stage manager, saying. "Oh, God 1 what is this coming over me? Is it death, or what?" At this moment his "cue" was given, and he started for the stage, exclaiming, "Watch me ! I don t know what am saying." tie endeavored to get through the scene, but as it proceeded he staggered about the stage like drunken man. lhe audience, sup posing him be be intoxicated, began to laugh and shout, while Miss Mortimer, who was playing Lady Audley, en deavored to aid him by pushing him in the well to consummate the action of the scene. Mr. Ferris, in a semiconscious state, took the handkerchief to dip it in the well, and staggering up the stage, was about to utter the last words of his part, which were : 1 his is the last service I shall ever render you, when the shouts and laughter ot the audience seemed to make him realize that they thought him drunk. He turned slowly to assure them that he was not, and with great difficulty uttered the broken sentence, "Ladies and gen tie men, I am," and staggering back grasped the frame of the well, as the curtain was dropped amidst the shouts and jeers of the au dience. The sufferer was removed to his hotel and in an hour was dead. The facts of his paralysis was an nounced before the theater closed, and the play was finished without "Tallboys." Foray of an Army of Ants. A writer in Land and Water gives an interesting account of a foray by an army of ants, which he witnessed in South Africa. This army, estimated to number about 14,000 ants, started from their home in the mud walls of a hut, and marched out in the direction of a small mound of fresh earth in the vicinity. The head of the column halted on reaching the foot of the mound, and the remainder of the force did likewise till the entire army was assembled. Then the forces were divided: one part remained at the foot of the mound and ran round and round it; the rest mounted to the top, and some of them entered the loose earth and speedily returned, each bearing a young grasshopper or cricket, dead, which he deposited upon the ground and returned for a fresh load Those who had remained on the out side of the mound took up the cru k ets as they were brought out of the earth, and bore them down to the base of the hill, returning tor a fresh load, Soon the contents of the mound seem ed to be exhausted, and then the whole force returned home, each carrying his burden ot food lor the community. Here was a regular foray, planned and executed with military precision, the country surveyed, and the depot of provisions known accurately before the march was made; at the mound, prudential division of labor, and care taken that none ot the victims should escape. The Land of the Missing. In one ot William Black's novels, says the Indianapolis Herald, he makes one of his people vaguely describe a land which lay across the sea, to which had fled all who were numbered among the missing, who there lived, untrammeled by the follies or misfortunes of the past. But the land of the living does not always care for its children. Sad wrecks go down in the surging seas which surround it. One case, saddest of all in the com pass of memory, presents itself. A boy, an only child, the idol of wealthy and cultured parents, started for school one morning with his mother's good bye kiss warm upon his lips and his books in his hands, and never returned. He was only eight years old, was as handsome as a cherub, and was known everywhere among his acquaintance as good boy. He was effeminate in nature and never, ordinarily, ventured upon boyish escapades. He was to have a rabbit for his dinner, and he asked as a favor, that it might be "stewed with a heap of gravy." The dinner was prepared but he never came to eat it. There had been nothing to make him dissatisfied with his surroundings and encourage the idea that he had run away. He timid and shrinking, and as everybody believed too good and too cowardly to run away. Sixteen years later his father and mother met him on a Miss issippi River steamboat, a bloated, drunken, profane, .brutal gambler Death would have kept him a beauti ful and loveable child; but the land of the missing sent him back a turned soul. Mutuality of the Brave. An incident of the late Confederate Army meeting in Richmond was the loud applause with which the "Boys Who Wore the Gray" greeted a grare-ful eulogy in the speech of the orator of the occasion upon the gallantry of a Federal Lieutenant and Sergeant at the battle of the crater, near Petersburg. After the mine was fired and the Union troops were awaiting the explosion to advance upon the Confederate lines,an unexpected hindrance delayed the explosion, but what it was no one could conjecture. If the fuse was still alight, burning but slowly, to enter the mine was certain death. Time thus dragged slowly on, when, said the speaker, "two brave men, whose names should be mentioned with respect wherever courage is honored, Lieutenant Jacob Douty and Ser geant Henry Rees, both of the 48th Pennsyluania, volunteered for the perilous service and entered the mine. Crawling on their hands and knees, groping in utter darkness, they found that the fuse had gone out about one hundred feet from the mouth of the main gallery, relighted it and retired." It was the mention of this incident which drew such applause from the battle scarred veterans of Virginia, who had been in the same fight with these, gallant Pennsylvanians, showing how brave men respect each other. while men who never smelt powder are always most furious and implacable when the return of peace permits them to yelp and bark with impunity. Weod Pavements. After a very thorough investigation j ot the advantages possessed by differ ent kinds of pavements granite, asphalt and wood the corporation of London has decided in favor ot the last. The report of the city engineer shows that a horse traveling on a granite pavement may be expected to fall once for every one hundred and thirty-two mile's traveled, on asphalt once in one hundred and ninety-one miles, and on wood once in four hundred and forty-six miles. The injury sus tained by the animal is also far less serious from a fall upon wood than upon asphalt or upon granite. The mode of constructing wooden pavements in London appears to differ from that which has obtained in this country. The surface-water is kept out by means of a layer of asphalt, and there is a flooring of planks as a superstructure, which gives great elasticity, and by distributing the weight equally over a considerable area, adds to the power of endurance of the pavement. This decision of the London Corporation will occasion surprise on this side of the water, where wooden pavements have been pronounced an utter failure. It remains to be seen whether good material and careful construction will avail to remove the capital objection to wood as a material for pavements its liability to speedy decay.

Age of Trees in Relation to Time of Leafing. In the course ot a discussion, in the Paris Academie des Sciences, of the question whether the annual buds of a tree, as it grows old, preserve the characters of youth or share in the old age of the individual which produces them, it was stated that, according to observations made by Prof. Decaisne on the Robinia pseudacacia (common locust) of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, the time af leafing does not vary with age. At Pisa, results a tittle different were obtained; there the gingko (Salisburia adiantigolid) and the walnut have been found to pro duce their leaves earlier in the season from year tojrear as they have advanced in age. On the contrary, the Esculus hippocastanum, or horse chestnut, is more tardy in proportion as it grows older. M. de Candolle, who was present at the meeting of the Academy, quoted observations care fully made every year since 1808 on two che.-tnut trees at Geneva; these trees have leaved iflvariably between the ninety third and the ninety-sixth day of the year. He further quoted the instance of a vine growing at Os tend. This vine has been observed during thirty-three years, and during the first eleven years it leaved on the one hundred and twenty se venth day of the year; in the second period of eleven years, on the one hundred and twentieth; in the third, on the one hundred and sixth: Thus there would seem to be a continuous progression the vine becoming more precocious in proportion to its advance in age. The Northerly Winds of Califor nia. In a paper on the northerly winds of the great central valley of California, Mr. J. H. C. Bonte attributes to the prevalence of these winds the peculiar dry and moderately exhilarating cli mate of that region. Further, he as serts that without the north winds, and with the consequent increase of moist heat, the vegetation now cultivated in the valley would be crowded out by dense tropical growths. It is reasona bleto believe that the desiccating power of the north wind, by preventing and dissipating the noxious exhalations of animal matter, acts as a preventative of disease. The north winds, follow ing the Tainy season, by drying and baking the soil, dissolve and pulverize its particles, thus freezing its productive powers. Fineness of fibre and con centrated nutriment are imparted to all the vegetable growths of the valley by the north wind, and it is possible that the grapes and strawberries of California may receive their delicate flavor from the same source. Cereal grains are made solid and flinty by this influence, and thus enabled to re sist the damaging effects of moisture The comparative exemption of the valley of California from the ravages of the weevil doubtless arises from the desiccating power of the north wind and the same cause checks the growth of fungi. The economical value of the north wind is discernible in its power to preserve from rapid decay houses, barns, fences, etc., and the same influence must protect iron from destructive rusts. ' A Soldier's Golgotha. Cuba is a cemetery for Spanish re cruits. Unlike FalstafFs ragged regi ment, who were good as food for powder, these poor boys who are enlisted in Spain and shipped off to crush the insurrection in Cuba, are killed by the diseases incidental to the country before, they have a chance of facing the enemy. The mortality is as great or perhaps greater than that which cursed the Union army on the I peninsula. Malarial fever " gathers them in." The official records at Madrid and Havana may be able to show how many stout fellows have been swallowed in the swamps of Cuba, but in no other way can the thousands of victims be told of. The Madrid government is evidently tired of frit tering away human life in this way. Martinez Campos is appointed to command the army, and the order to fire is to be given all along the line. Insurrection is to be wiped out. Campos has only to give the order, and quick, presto, it is done. It is as easy lying.

Thus, contact with frozen mercury gives the same sensa tion as contact with fire; and meat that has been exposed to a very low ttm perature assumes a condition like that produced by heat. This action of intense cold has been turned to account for economical uses by Dr. Sawicze vosky, an Hungari- n chemist, as we learn from' Lq Nature. He subjects flesh-meats to a temperature of minus " Fahr., and having thus "cooked them by the cold," seals them her metically in tin cans. The results are represented as being entirely satisfac tory. The meat, when taken out of the cans a long time afterward, is found to be, as regards its appearance and its odor, in all respects as inviting as at first. It is partially cooked, ,and needs but little treatment more to pre pare it for the table. A German gov ernment commission has made expen ments with this process, and two naval vessels dispatched on a voyage of cir cumnavigation were provisioned with this kind of meat. An establishment has been set up in Hungary for pre serving meats in this way. The packing season is now iairly opened in the West. Our cotton crop is estimated at 4,-225,000 bales this year.
